🚨 Imagine if, as Yellen said, the U.S. hits the debt ceiling between January 14 and 23. What extraordinary measures would the Treasury take to prevent a government shutdown?
Spend cash. As of the end of December, the U.S. Treasury's cash reserves were $689 billion, enough to last for a few months.
Sell existing investments and suspend the reinvestment of civil servant retirement and disability funds, as well as the health benefits fund for postal service retirees.
Stop fully investing the government securities investment fund of the savings fund in U.S. interest-bearing securities, which amounts to about $320 billion, enough to last for a month or two.
Use debt to finance debt; as long as the two parties in the U.S. reach a consensus, Congress can raise the deficit, theoretically allowing for unlimited debt issuance.
As a last resort, print money directly.
Immediately start building a national Bitcoin reserve, then push #BTC to a hundred million, legalize the debt, and distribute the Bitcoin held by the government to creditors. The remaining tens of trillions of debt can be left for the next administration!
What do you think? Doesn't option 6 sound more ambitious and in line with the style of the "smart king"? 😏
